Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

I had hoped the Minister for Education and Science would be present for my question on the removal of special needs assistants from schools. However, I am aware the Taoiseach has a particular interest in this area. The suspension of the Disability Act and Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act has allowed this to take place. There was to be a review of all schools which employed special needs assistance.
